You should get a ton of good recommendations. Nearly all the Bobo Stenson recordings might work and they have a pretty low processed cheese content. Might also want to try: Kirk Lightsey Trio/Goodbye Mr. Evans Steve Kuhn/Mostly Ballads Enrico Pieranunzi/Untold Story Ketil Bjornstad/Any Jon Balke/Any Wayne Horvitz/Sweeter Than The Day Peter Erskine/Live At Rocco Charlie Haden/Nocturne
tord gufstavsen comes to mind,not so smooth jazz,a little more traditional with a taste of contemporary.a little on the slow side for most but good for what you are looking for imho.
